FIRE DESTROYS _ CHURCH USED BY DOWIE YEARS AGO Structure Taken Over Later by Overseer Voliva; Colony to Zion 12 Years Ago. The old building, which was 'about five stories high, was one of the land-- marks of the south side. Dr. Frank Gunsaulus spent many years in its pastorate. . It fell into the possession ot Dowile a quarter of a century ago. When Dowile died Wilbur Glengd * Vol-- iva, the present overseer of Zion City, took cnrge of. the structure and conducted the meetings. An historie church edifice at 2523 Michigan avenue, built in 1886 by the Plymouth Congregational church and later used by John Alexander Dowle as a Zionist tabernacle, was destroy-- ed by a spectacular fire l"'rldny night. About twelve years ago the Zion colony moved to Zion City and the building was sold. During recent years the building has been intermit-- tently used as a garage and ware house. The fiames were discovered shortly after I o'clock. Before the first fire fighting apparatus arrived at the scene the entire building was afame. Special calls for equipment . were sounded. One fireman, Henry Sklore, insur-- ance patrol No. 3. was hurt when the roof of the old building fell Traffic on Michigan boulevard was beld up for two hours. % ROSECRANS : % li******l&***&**-' da P & o.

There is no doubt but the election. returns increased his personal prestige and to that extent gave him a commission from the Ameri¢an people. Whether bis influence as the chief: executive | will be of such proportions to make Congress tractable is solely a matter 10! conjecture. Nobody knows, but there is no shortage of speculation. [At present the records of the victors for congressionai-- honors are being {closely examined to determine their ' position on matters which must in-- {«m.w come to their attention in their new jobs. On the face of cur-- rent election statibtics, the Republi-- 'cans are assured of a majority in the 'House and a smaller majority in the _ Senate. _ A non--partisan study will _show that these balances of power, ah 'claimed for the new Congress, are 'classified as "paper'" majorities. The |\history of recent legislative ahsem-- blies is such to bring reasonable 'doubts as to the p'astic condition of .the newcomers. Washington, Nov. 12.--Taking stock of the legislative situation is an ab-- sorbing subject in Washington these days, with the post--election exeite ment fading out. Two questions are appagently uppermost in the minds of the country: "What will the present Congress do in its last session which begins next month?", and "Will the President, by virtue of his tremendous personal victory at the polis, be suft-- ficiently strong to obtain favorable action by the next Congress, to war-- rant the enactment of Administration policies?"

There is also a possibility that Mr. Hughes may be elevated to the post as Chief Justice of the U. 8. Supreme Court, as Mr. Taft's retirement has been predicted on account of ill health.

It is generally conceded that there will be no major legislation en-- acted at the short session which be-- gins December 1, and ends March 4, 1925. The time of Congress will be taken up almost entirely with appro-- priation bi'ls for the various f>vern-- ment departments.

THIHRMRWDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1924 FIREMAN FALLS 15 FT. THRU HOLE; Julius Schoenke, 29, a freman at the Waukegan station, had an almost miraculous gegcape from death Mon-- day evening when he plunged through a pole hole on the second floor and fell headfirst to the floor fifteen feet below. He was unconscious when brother firemen reached his side and appeared to be lifeless. a fracture of the templar bone, run-- ning toward the base of the skull. 'Althouxh this migcht be serious, the fact that Schoenke has bhad no mere :hemmorhag'es today his condition is -'regarded as quite hopeful. | HOW ACCIDENT HAPPENED | It was Schoenke's day off but he | had gone to the fire station to change | his .clothing. He shaved himself and | was engaged in putting on his sweat-- er when he backed toward the pole 'ho!e. A second liter he had pitched through the orening. His body turned over once during the fall and caused his head to strike the heavy floor.. The thud was heard all over ithe station. Believed to Have Broken Neck But X--ray Fails to Show Any Fracture. Wetzel and Peterson's ambulance was summoned and the victim was rushed to the Victory Memorial Hos-- pital where hbe was given first aid treatment by Dr. J. E. Walter. It was believed at first _ that Schoenke's neck had been broken but .an X--rav picture taken a short time after his arrival failed to show anvy fractured vertebrae. Dr. Walter reported that the victim had suffered a slight concussion but felt that un-- less complications set in he had an excellent chance of recovery. It was G@iscovered by Dr. Walter late today. on further examination of the plates, that Schoenke received v--i'irvevl}ien"rushed up 'and applied ar-- tificial respiration.

RELATIVES NOTIFIED As quickly as possible relatives 0' Schoenke were notified of his seri ous accident. His wile, although bad-- ly crippled..was one of the first to reach the hospital. She was accom nanied by their eight year old son. Other relatives hastened to the hos pital as soon as they could be noti-- fRed of the accident. The Schoenkes reside at the north-- west corner of Powel! avenue and Belvidere street. Julius Schoenke has been a mem-- ber of the Waukegan fire department for the last five years. He has been serving on the platoon captained by Edward Klinesmith. °* RECALLS HEROIC ACT. The serious accident that befel! Schoenke recalls vividly his heroism of last Sunday in saving the lives of two hunters who were drowning in Sullivan Lake when their boat cap-- sized. Schoenke, in company with another Waukegan man, rowed to the assistance of the struggling men and lifted them into his own boat just when they were practically ex-- hausted and ready to sink. ! The first warrant charged Bailie with malicious restruction of proper-- | ty, which referred to four tires blown up by the policeman after he had followed Shufeld into Wiscon-- sin and charged him with speeding. Shufeld was fined $150 in Zion for speeding. 2 NEW WARRANTS . OUT FOR BAILIE They cannot be served as long as Bailie remains in lIllinois, unless he waives extradition, or extradition is obtained through the state capi-- tals. Two more warrants, charging E. L. Bailie, Zion copper, with kid-- naping Henry Shufeld, wealthy Mil-- waukeean, were sworn out Wednes-- day by the Wisconsin man ih his fight against the Zion policeman. _The warrants are being held up pending a settlement.
